Sweet May-December Marriage

Chapter 134 Refuse to See Them

Chapter 134 Refuse to See Them

"Do you know the news this morning?" Eloise asked excitedly.

"Yes." Cecilia raised her eyebrows. "I have seen Becca once or twice. She is good-looking, but she takes herself too seriously, just like Rachel. She looks gentle, but I never expected her to be so dissolute."

"Many people say she was set up by someone," Eloise said, playing with her cell phone.

Cecilia sneered, "Obviously she was set up, but she is too stupid. I don't have a good impression of her, so I don't sympathize with her at all."

"Becca will have a hard time in this circle in the future." Eloise rested her chin and said, "With such a thing, her parents may send her to a foreign country to lay low. After a few years, when the thing dies down, they will get her back and get her married to someone. Anyway, she is ruined."

"Maybe." Cecilia suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Charlotte. "Forget it. Charlotte, this Sunday is my birthday and I'll have a party. You must come."

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, and her eyes widened. "Your birthday?"

Cecilia nodded.

Charlotte said, "Okay, I will go with Eloise."

Cecilia made an ok gesture and then said to Nicholas, "Nicholas, you come too."

"Ok." Nicholas directly agreed. "What birthday gift do you want?"

Eloise laughed, "Nicholas, you are so straightforward. Girls receive birthday presents for the feeling of surprise! If we had known what the gift was, we wouldn't have been surprised."

Nicholas stopped spinning the pen in his hand and said, "I see."

Charlotte was thinking about what to give Cecilia, but after thinking for a long time, she felt that a rich lady like Cecilia probably didn't lack anything. When Eloise knew Charlotte's mind, she said, "You don't have to be worried. Her father spoils her and she has whatever she wants. Even if you give her an expensive sports car, she's probably not gonna be happy. So, showing your sincerity is the most important."

Eloise lay down on the table and touched Charlotte's head. She continued, "Actually, there is a convention in our circle. The more ordinary the relationship, the more expensive the gift is. On the contrary, a gift from a good friend just needs to show his or her sincerity, so you don't have to care too much about the price of the gift."

Charlotte chuckled, "I can't afford her a sports car. After all, I don't have any income yet."

Eloise raised her eyebrows. "Char, your outfit is worth millions of dollars. How could you possibly have no money?"

Charlotte was speechless.

She coughed and changed the subject. "Well, what are you going to give Cecilia?"

"A necklace." Eloise gestured and then continued, "I asked my mother to buy it. It has a sapphire with a platinum deer head inlaid. It's very beautiful."

Charlotte said, "Didn't you say to show one's sincerity?"

She thought, "You're giving her money!"

...

After school, Charlotte was still thinking about what gift to give. She didn't read a word of the medical book and didn't even notice Nelson come back.

Seeing Charlotte sitting there blankly, Nelson put his hand on the table from behind, leaned over her ear, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Charlotte smelled a little mint. She was befuddled and then blurted, "Have you taken a shower outside?"

She remembered that the smells of the shower gels at home were orange and milk, not mint.

After asking, Charlotte was stunned for a moment and then found that she was just like a wife discovering that her husband was cheating. She quickly wanted to explain, but Nelson had already laughed in her ear, "Yes, you have an acute sense of smell."

Nelson smelled of blood when dealing with things, and he was afraid of scaring Charlotte, so he took a special shower before coming back. However, he didn't expect Charlotte to have such a keen sense of smell and find he took a shower only by the smell of the shower gel.

Charlotte blushed for a moment and said hesitatingly, "I... I was just asking casually..."

"It's okay. I allow you to ask." Nelson sat down next to Charlotte and explained casually, "Something happened, so I took a shower before going back." Then he asked, "What were you thinking just now?"

"A classmate of mine is going to have a birthday." Charlotte whispered, "I was thinking about what to give her for her birthday."

"A birthday gift?"

"Yes." Charlotte asked, "Mr. Clark, have you bought it before?"

"Yes."

"Do you have any tips for choosing a gift?"

Nelson thought for a while and replied, "Let Waylon buy it."

Charlotte was speechless.

She thought, "Okay. But I don't have a man like Waylon."

"When is your classmate's birthday?" asked Nelson.

Charlotte said, "This Sunday."

Nelson touched her head and said, "I will take you to pick a gift on Saturday."

Charlotte's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Mr. Clark!"

Nelson said, "Wash your hands and have a meal."

"OK."

...

After the meal, Charlotte played with Magnolia for a while and then wanted to go to bed. Nelson saw her figure and suddenly said, "Char."

Charlotte turned her head and asked, "What's the matter?"

Nelson paused and said, "Good night."

Charlotte smiled. "You too." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After watching Charlotte go upstairs, Nelson made a call. "I won't see them."

...

The doorman of Oswye Community put down the phone and smiled apologetically at Jonathan and Aurora. "I'm sorry. I just called Mr. Clark, and he said he wouldn't see you."

Aurora's smile froze. "Did you hear that right?"

Although the doorman didn't like this kind of person who came to flatter a powerful man, he still said very politely, "I'm sure I heard it right."

Aurora and Jonathan looked at each other and both saw anger in each other's eyes.

Aurora turned her head and said to a woman, "Amanda, see? We can't even get into the house."

The woman was dressed with glittering jewels but looked vulgar. Her name was Amanda Hunter, Aurora's half-sister. Her mother died of dystocia. When Amanda was one year old, her father married Aurora's mother. No stepmother could tolerate the previous child, so when Amanda was three years old, she was sent to the countryside by Aurora's mother in the name of recuperating. She wasn't taken back until she was 20 years old, and she casually married an incompetent man. Although she was the eldest daughter of the Hunter family, she was like a nouveau riche.

However, Aurora and her mother were extremely good at buying people off. For so many years, Amanda had always thought that her stepmother and sister were sincere to her and she trusted them very much.

Amanda originally lived in another city with her husband, but her daughter, Helena Cash, was unwilling to stay in a small city after graduating from university. So her family came to Seyso to find

her brother-in-law Jonathan to get work for Helena.
